【Nearest Station】7-minute walk from Asagaya Station【Restaurant】A gelato specialty shop located 6-7 minutes walk from the north exit of Asagaya Station. The high-quality gelato, made with a focus on ingredients, is exquisite. They offer a wide variety of flavors, including the seasonal limited edition "Melnowa," which won 3rd place at the Gelato World Cup, among about 15-20 flavors available at all times. The shop provides seating for eating in, so you can enjoy your gelato inside the shop.【What I Ate】Jasmine Set Gelato 2 flavors + Iced Jasmine Tea 950 yen・Kyoho (Japanese grape)・Mint Chocolate Chip【Impressions】After about 10 years...? I revisited the lovely Cincherita-san. I remembered the shop's interior being cute before, but I was surprised by how stylish and chic it has become. I apologize for being so late to the party. It was around 2 pm on a weekend, and there were about 3 customers lined up outside the shop. Basically, you wait outside the shop, and once it's your turn to order, you can finally enter the shop. There are 8 seats inside for eating in, and they are always full, but since everyone leaves promptly after finishing their gelato, the turnover is quick, so you can usually find a seat right away unless it's very crowded. There are so many enticing flavors that it's really hard to choose. I want to try them all. I remember how delicious Melnowa was from before... I want to have it again... but I also want to try the seasonal flavors... After much deliberation, I settled on Kyoho and Mint Chocolate Chip. Yes, I can always have the classic flavors next time. I'll be back. Kyoho has a beautiful grape color. It uses whole fruits, so you can see the grape-like pulp. The taste is also Kyoho! But it's not that intense like typical grape juice you find in stores; it has a gentle grape flavor without any unnecessary additions. The Mint Chocolate Chip was amazing. It has a real fresh mint leaf taste, not like mint flavoring. The incorporated chocolate chips have a bitter taste, giving it an adult-like flavor. Delicious! Some people may not like it, but I love it. It's really delicious. And not just the taste, but the texture of the gelato is just right. Perfect. Also, the Jasmine Tea I had with the gelato was really delicious. I wonder if it was cold brewed... It had a very elegant aroma. I'll be back soon to try different flavors! Thank you for the meal.
